Abstract: The spectral transfer of internal wave energy toward high vertical wavenumber kz and turbulence production ε is examined by ray tracing small-scale test waves in a canonical Garrett and Munk background wave field. Unlike ...

Abstract: Small-scale internal waves are numerically ray-traced through random 3D Garrett and Munk internal wave backgrounds. Past ray-tracing investigations of the transfer of internal wave energy toward small scales have considered ...

Abstract: A neutrally buoyant float instrumented to measure 1?5 m shear and stratification was deployed for ten days in a near-inertial critical layer at the base of a warm-core ring. Vertical velocity and temperature data, from ...
